Topic: We all do dumb things

In the General Horror discussion, a thread was posted that allowed us to share some true and personal experiences with frightening events in our lives. So I got to thinking, why not have a thread to display the stupidity in our lives. I know I can tell a few stories about how stupid I have been.

The first story that comes to mind took place about five or six years ago when I was waiting in my mom's van to go to the dentist. Just sitting there, not knowing what to do, I began staring at the cigarette lighter. I had never used it before (mainly cause I don't smoke) and was curious as to how the thing worked. So I pulled it out and stuck my finger inside and touched that orangish/pinkish spiral and nothing happened. So it wasn't hot. When I stuck it back in, however, I noticed that I could push it in like a button, even after it was all the way in. So, I pushed the cigarette lighter in all the way and then took it back out. Can you guess what I did? Yep, I touched that spiral with my finger again. And sure enough, that sucker was HOT! I whipped my finger out of there and to put a long story short, I went to the dentist with a bandaide on my finger.

I've got a few other stories but I'll wait with those. Anyone else have stupid (or blonde) moments. Just remember, you don't have to pay too much for auto insurance (bad joke, I know).

The dummiest thing I ever did, I was about 15 years old filled my mouth with the butane from a lighter, blew it out and caught it on fire like Gene Simmons of Kiss. It was impressive and the kids thought it was kewl. But HEY WHAT WAS I THINKING????Glad I didn't breathe back in.

Back when i was at college, i believe 4 years ago, i can't remember, well it was 2 of my buddies and i decided to take adhesive glue and rub it on out hands, so i did it and lit my hand on fire. One of them had a camera and took a picture. I believe i did it twice and one of the pictures he took of me was with my hand burning and holding up my middle finger.

Hey when i was a kid, i was with my best friend and we were at the creek right by our houses and there was a piece of rusted metal and i through and after i through it my hand was completely covered in blood.

When I was between the ages of 12 and 14, I was playing with the cats on my farm during summer break. I would toss this toy and the cats would grab it, but not bring it back. It was kind of a fetch game with the cats, except that they never brought the toy back and I would chase them around on all fours. Anyways, while I was chasing them, I neglected to look where I was going and slammed my head into a steel pole with like a teeth edge. I quickly put my hand up to my head and my hand was almost instantly covered in blood. So I went into the house where I had to wait a 2-3 hours because my mom and dad were at work, my grandma couldn't drive, and I was the oldest one home (aside from grandma). I'm always sure to watch where I am going now.

Just a couple years back me my cousine and myself were playing catch in my cousins yard. Well his yard was an old paintball field and had a bunch of big wire wheels in it. So the ball was thrown ay up high and i went running, not looking where i was going I slammed into the wheel. I remember blacking out and throwing up cause i hit my groin. Now I am pretty cautious.

Re: We all do dumb things

i have a few, and they r all really stupid. i was with some of my friends, and we were messin around, and we made a ramp on a gravel road for my friends bike. all of my friends didnt go off it very fast, except me (tryin to show off) went off it as fast as i could and hit the ground, skid out, and slammed right into a tree. i had to pull alot of gravel out of my arm.another time my friends were all riding their skateboards, but i was too poor to have one, so i was riding a skooter. we came to this really long and steep hill and only me my friend Scott were brave enough to go down it. but what i didnt realize was that there were a bunch of sticks in the road and i hit one, fell off my skooter, and rolled about 15 feet. 3 of my toe nails popped up and i had cuts all on my knees and elbows. it was alot of fun though and id do it again.

Re: We all do dumb things

I fell from a two story house when I was 8 or 9 years old. It was a bet and I, obviously, lost. Surprisingly, I didn't break any bones but I was in pain for like three days. Hehehehe...

I had a Superman pijama (did I write that right?) and I jumped off from a fence. Again, I didn't break any bones.

I put a glass ball (the ones you put on a Xmas tree) into my mouth and crushed it but I didn't need any stitches.

I lived in Cozumel and I swimmed a lot. One day I wanted to test my limits and I swam (in the ocean) until I couldn't move anymore. My stupid brain didn't calculate the fact that I needed strength to go back. A fisherman saved my ass.

Re: We all do dumb things

when I was little/8 or 9 playing at my neighbors house, we were playing tarzan and I picked all the rubarb cuz it has big leaves and we used them as plates. I wasn't allowed to play there for a few months, whoops:) I climbed into an old cooler, back then they were made out of metal, I was small and curled up in it and shut the lid. My freind sat on it and wouldn't get off, almost no air left, finally she got up. I wasn't the happiest camper!!!
